[Pokmon Go] is an absolute cultural phenomenon and has put the Nintendo brand back on the collective consciousness of the world Ben Sin, Forbes, July 13th, 2016

[Pokmon Go] is an absolute cultural phenomenon and has put the Nintendo brand back on the collective consciousness of the world Ben Sin, Forbes, July 13th, 2016 Drawing upon a range of scholarly concepts and theories; (i.) identify and critically analyse both the reasons for the success of the Pokmon Go phenomenon and the impact that it has had on the Nintendo brand in the summer of 2016; (ii.) discuss what brand managers outside of the videogames industry can learn from the phenomenon. Students are expected to engage in wider reading than what has been provided in-class and on Moodle. You may find there are very useful explanatory concepts (i.e. concepts that can help explain what you are trying to say) available in the broader literature. Start first with your allocated readings on Moodle and then consult the literature consulted in the reference sections of these papers. ? This is an academic report therefore emphasis must be placed on scholarly concepts. Conceptualise everything (i.e. label your observations using explanatory concepts, ground your comments and analyses in academic language and theory). Theory MUST feature heavily in your report. ? In addition to academic materials, a variety of sources of information must be used to assemble and support your essay. Students are encouraged to consult trade magazines, suitable media reports and business publications, and consult with official company sources i.e. website materials, promotional materials. ? Students should NOT under any circumstances contact any of the companies involved in the essay topic (e.g. Nintendo Co., Ltd., The Pokmon Company, Niantic, Inc.) nor should any form of primary research (e.g. distributing a questionnaire, conducting interviews, focus groups) be conducted. Failure to observe these caveats will result in zero marks being awarded for this assignment. ? Do NOT become overly burdened with the product (i.e. a mobile game), your analytical focus MUST be on the effects on the brand (i.e. strategic standing of Nintendo). Focus on the wider socio-cultural and commercial issues and the theoretical implications stemming from them rather than simply describing why a game was a successful. Failure to focus on the bigger picture will result in mediocre marks being awarded for this assignment. ? The assignment is designed to allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the course material, your ability to apply it to a real-life brand strategy context and your capacity to explore independently to seek out and apply explanatory theory and concepts that deepen understanding of that context. ? Respect the wordcount. There is no room for waffle. Essays should be tight and insightful, well-referenced, accurate and well-edited. ? Usual referencing guidelines apply.

The effect on the play of Othello, that the main character is a black man who is set against the stereotypes about him.

Thesis Statement: Othellos character is giving esteemed status and virtue in spite of being a Moor, to set him against the common stigmas associated with black people during the age this play was conceived. This gives the play a voice that is intentionally set against racism. Othello is intentionally made to be a great man (despite his tragic downfall), to devalue racial importance in politics, leadership, love and loyalty. Instructions: Your final essay for this course should reflect your focused study of an aspect of one of Shakespeares tragedies we have read. You may decide the specific research question your paper addresses, based on your interests and desires, but the paper should be an analytical, thesis-driven, academic essay. The core of your work must include a strong close reading of your chosen play, while also incorporating work from primary and secondary sources (such as those included in the back of our course text).You should include research in developing the answer to your question. Do not allow secondary works to obscure your own point(s) and interests, but use existing research and writing to help position and support your own work and to augment your own analysis and arguments. Be careful that any sources you choose to use are accurate and reliable (not just unevaluated Googled sources).

What actions could have the facilitys administrator take to work more closely with city and county governments to prepare for any future emergencies?

Patient Safety – Natural Disasters
Last fall, the US was hit with two major hurricanes Harvey in Texas and Maria in Puerto Rico and more recently Michael in Florida and Florence in North and South Carolina. Here in the northeast, we can relate to major snowstorms that might cut off supplies and power outages that affect air conditioning. These natural disasters pose a threat to nursing home residents and a life and death obstacle for nursing home administrators. Moving residents is usually the last option. Some residents are so sick, frail or prone to confusion that the move out of the residence is more dangerous than the natural disaster. Nursing home administrators are faced with the dilemma of how long to wait until evacuation, is the threat great enough for evacuation, which residents cannot be moved and who should stay with them. Chapter 12 discusses fire safety and emergency evacuation and the attached articles discuss the real life consequences of emergency situations. Some possible questions to start your discussion post are: -Are these administrators guilty of a criminal act?
-Since the conditions were the result of a natural disaster, are the administrators liable for what was out of their control?
-Should the local or federal government be more involved in these cases?

To what extent do the 2 text utilize the unreliable narrator to navigate colonial or postcolonial identity?

What is Peifer purporting as the purpose of public education and the responsibility of the school board?

As the midterm elections near (and pass by the time this assignment is due), there are many policy issues that candidates have taken a firm (or not so firm) stance on. A few of the polarizing topics include health care, the economy, public safety and infrastructure. One policy issue that impacts a significant portion of the populace is education. In the gubernatorial race, Brian Kemp and Stacy Abrams have outlined their respective policies for Georgia with Kemp focusing on childhood literacy and pay raises for teachers, and Abrams focusing on a revision of the state funding formula for public schools, smaller class sizes, more school counselors, better teacher pay, and expanded early childhood education. Most Americans agree that school improvement is necessary in both rural and urban locales, but the method for achieving measurable growth can be illusive and the functions of institutions such as school boards, parent organizations, departments of educations, and even schools themselves is ever changing. With federal and state mandates for education systems, many often overlook the responsibilities of local elected officials. For this week’s discussion, we will take a look at the responsibility of the elected officials afforded the privilege of establishing and carrying out policies at the local level: School Board Members. The article by Angie Piefer titled, “The purpose of public education and the role of the school board” highlights the observations of various segments of society as it relates to the purpose of the school board and public education. Copy and paste the link below to read the short article. https://www.nsba.org/sites/default/files/The%20Purpose%20of%20Public%20Education%20and%20the%20Role%20of%20the%20School%20Board_National%20Connection.pdfAfter reading the article, respond to the following questions: 1. First, summarize the main/central points made within the article. 2. Based on the main points of the article, what sociological theories/perspective do you find applicable or most closely associated? Describe in detail how the theories/perspectives help you to interpret and understand Peifer’s position. Are there any obvious contradictions or problems you see in this article as you think about the upcoming midterm elections and the education policies at stake? How would you challenge Peifer’s position or extend it?3. As a student, parent, future educator, or person in the workforce, what do you believe the purpose of public education to be and what responsibilities do elected officials hold?4. Finally, how does contemporary American schooling reflect societies values or priorities? In your observation and experience, do “we” really value education?
